gate business being unusually large. The
sharp advance in foreign securities, owing
to the outcome OF the German elections,
made n very weak feeling on the curb be-
fore the opening of Change, and the first
sales were made ut C lower than the clos
ing figures of Monday. After the first
hour of trading, good speculative buying
was reported at the seabOard, and there
was a good demand for cash wheat for eX-
port reported at all the principal markets.
This, together with n very free buying by
shorts, produced an advance and the mar
kct closed at 79ic. Corn, weak. Oats,
quiet and steady. Provisions, strong.
